RE: question about multiple plots

[Steven Thijs]

Hi Ronald,

When I first plot something, then type figure, and then plot another
thing,
no new plot is generated, in fact, the new data is not plotted at all.
When I look in the gnuplot window, I get the message: 

Set term X11 1
Unknown or ambiguous terminal type;...

When I look in the manual, I find:
16.6 Multiple Plot Windows
Figure (n) Function File
Set the current plot window to plot window n. This function currently
requires X11 and a version of gnuplot that supports multiple frames.

My gnuplot version support multiple frames,
but I'm not sure about the X11 thing. Isn't this something unix or linux
related?
I'm running octave on Windows XP...

Thanks a lot for the help, and happy holidays!

Steven

I think that this will actually generate a new plot window, but it does
not appear until you plot something in it.  I was wondering about this
just the other day.
